El Presidente Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Having spend a few days at the warehouse (small shipment), I have now seen quite a bit of ENE, FEB 2014. I like what I am seeing. Most of what is coming through are the faster moving stock of PC's and Robusto but if anything it is a step up on 2013 in terms of wrapper and construction ....and 2013 was good. Over the past few days I have smoked Monte 4's, D4's and CORO from 2014. Very approachable, very good. The surprise packed however was Behike 52 and 54 from ENE/FEB 2014. Far better than any 2013 I have had in Behike (richer with much better wrappers). let's see how the next few months pan out . Early days yet but the signs are good. 1
PapaDisco Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Y'know . . . if you ever need help in the warehouse, I'm available. 1
HarveyBoulevard Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I can just see it now...a large warehouse decked out like a tiki bar drinking tiny umbrella drinks and smoking cigars whilst perusing boxes upon boxes of glorious cuban cigars...

I don't slip off the ladder again... And I don't believe there's no pub near the warehouse. There should be a few in walking distance.

Could this mean another Behike Cigar of the Year?!?!?!

El Presidente Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 Any april code showed up yet ? Not yet. Feb 14 is the latest I have seen so far. Another shipment in about 14 days.
LeafLover Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Y'all got it all wrong. The Pres is in a recliner, cigar in one hand and drink in another with shades on. Bright green shirt. Short jean shorts cowboy boots and cowboy hat on. 6 girls in thong bikinis bent over picking up box after box, bringing them over to him, opening it and asking "PSP, HQ, or PE my president?". Lie is good, right? 2
matgerado Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I see it now... this will be the year that i'll be emptying my coffers... and i feel giddy like a schoolgirl at that thought!!
Louich Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Not yet. Feb 14 is the latest I have seen so far. Another shipment in about 14 days. Thanks ! I'll keep an eye out for a birthday smoke for my little one that was born last month.
potpest Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Picked up a box of monte especiales ARG ENE 2014 this morning. Whole box Looks fantastic, smoking one now and it's excellent considering how young it is
Andrew11 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks ! I'll keep an eye out for a birthday smoke for my little one that was born last month. Congrats on the little one Louich!! I was blessed with a little one as well on Sat. Will be keeping an eye on May/14 stock in the future.
Louich Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Congratulations Andrew ! Guess we'll have to talk about what to target. Until then stock up on canned sleep (red bull) for the days of work after a sleepless night. LoL 1
Moogypug Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Any april code showed up yet ? Just out of curiosity, are April code boxes historically better than others?
Habana Mike Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Just out of curiosity, are April code boxes historically better than others? Hi Moogypug and welcome. ABR has been very, very good to me. Not to say they're always the best but I've been smoking a fair few ABR 2013's lately to celebrate their first birthday!
Optic101 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I'll keep an eye out for a birthday smoke for my little one that was born last month. I was blessed with a little one as well on Sat. Will be keeping an eye on May/14 stock in the future.Congrats to both of you guys!
Andrew11 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Congratulations Andrew ! Guess we'll have to talk about what to target. Until then stock up on canned sleep (red bull) for the days of work after a sleepless night. LoL I've been running on coffee since Sunday. Lol. Got my eye on some Bolivar 2014 EL. I stocked up on the Monte 520's for my older daughters Bday smoke, so figured I'll stick with the EL's. Plus Bolivar is my fav brand.
sw15825 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Just out of curiosity, are April code boxes historically better than others? Welcome to the club Moogypug! In my experience, the month of manufacture is not an important thing in getting good cigars. I did hear someone say this in the past but I dont understand how that could matter much. I have smoked many good to great cigars boxed in all months. This is only the date that they were actually " boxed" and stamped from my understanding.
Bulldog4 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 hey prez I got a box of hoyo petit robusto ene feb2014 coming my beautiful gf ordered them but not from here I politely informed her of here for next time haha anyways was wondering what I can expect if you got an idea?
dowjr1 Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Prez have you ever posted any pic from the warehouse? What does a master case look like?
Susanne Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 That would be so cool... I've always wondered what one looks like...
